The two bedrocks of any truly free country are the rights to free speech and access to firearms that the government possesses. On the latter, we have failed miserably as the government could run roughshod over us should they decide to, a possibility that exists higher now than at any time in our nation's history. But free speech is still alive and well for the most part except for the most loathsome of those in our society known as the Tea Baggers. They lack any depth of critical thinking as Fox News and the Bible have all but destroyed it in them and are hell bent on destroying this nation without even realizing it.
The Republican party will never survive as it is today if this nonsense continues. When they unwisely absorbed the Tea Party into their ranks, everything the original organization stood for was destroyed and even people involved with it's early formation, and whose many principles I agreed with, abandoned it as the party's main platforms on banking reforms were jettisoned for the lunatic fringe. Nothing of what the Tea Party once stood for now exists, much like the Republican party itself. They are now the Lunatic Party and the Democrats now have to cater to the Republicans, Independents and Democrats all at the same time with less than favorable results.
When Mitt Romney loses, which at this point seems like a foregone conclusion, a civil war will break withing the ranks of the party. The Tea Party will demand an even more severe conservative, as if that's the reason they are losing. The Republicans, led by people like Bill Kristol and Jeb Bush, will demand a softer approach that encompasses gay people, Hispanics and women. This will anger the Christian conservatives much like Chick-Fil-A's smart move to stop giving money to anti-gay organizations which has now led to a boycott in the other direction. More on that later.
As the Tea Party HATES Obama with a barely racist disguise, they will be livid at Romney for failing to oust the anti-Christ and turn on the GOP in turn. They will demand their Tea Party candidates NEVER give in to anything the President wants and this country will burn to the ground as a result. It is why I loathe the Tea Party and all they stand for. They are no better than the KKK or Nazi's at this point, blasting forward a message of hate and a policy of self destruction. They are truly one of the most dangerous groups ever to exist within this country, but free speech gives them that right. I just wish so many people weren't listening and buying into their fallacies.
As the Republican party shrinks, the lunatic fringe will become more and more powerful. This will lead to a serious confrontation come November 2016 when Ryan Republicans bent on a scorched earth policy face off against someone like Jeb Bush who is more likely to be center right not right of Hitler right and make possible religious wingnut Rick Santorum as a spoiler. Hopefully this should make any Republican, who much like moderate Muslims have been doing across the planet, start shouting from the rooftops that they don't buy into a lot of this Tea Party crap and we should get back to fixing what is wrong with this country rather than debating over whether Obama was born in Hawaii or not.
Free speech is important which is why I do defend the rights of the French newspaper to publish cartoons of Mohammad. We cannot bow down everytime some religious twit gets his panties in a bunch. Besides, if you are killing people because someone "dissed" your religion, you are not reading that book correctly. As most of you can't read anyway, this does not surprise me. When you start acting like some punk kid with a gun in a gang, you know your life has gone horribly wrong. Grow up, get a thicker skin and stop throwing a temper tantrum everytime you don't get your way. Christ.
If this kind of crap continues, that war of civilizations will happen and there is no way you guys don't wind up as radioactive dust. I, for one, don't want to see that happen, but everytime I see some guy in a nightgown screaming "Death to America, " particularly one as of late that showed white Australians protesting, I want to get a gun and mow you down myself. I understand if you were born into such nonsense to but to actively covert shows what a truly stupid individual you are, especially in a case like this. Please drop dead and do us all a favor. No really. Die already.
Free speech is also being addressed by Chick-Fil-A which angered conservative groups for dropping support for bigoted causes. The fast food joint did this to open new markets in places lie Chicago and, most likely, soon to be cities like Boston and Philadelphia. This was the best move for the company as personal beliefs are fine, but if my money is being used for causes I do not support, I don't go there. Blockbuster lost my business years ago for giving lots of money to anti-gay and anti-abortion causes. Because of their shitty business skills, no one else went either for various reasons and are now in total bankruptcy. The owner of Chick-Fil- A is free to believe whatever he wants, but as he learned, it's wisest to keep those views to yourself when you are selling chicken to the general public. Of course, the religious right and Tea Party idiots are up in arms over this, but this is how business works, by appealing to the broadest base possible. Funny how they don't understand that principle for politics either when the GOP is SO inviting to anyone why isn't an old white guy.
In a shocking new Italian study, men's penises have shrunk by ten percent over the last 50 years. Obesity, alcohol use, stress, smoking and even air pollution all factor in. How they are affected by these factors are unclear but, if it is, expect lots more people at the gym and more clean air initiatives. Luckily for those of us born some time ago, this will not effect us at all so take that newborns with their whole lives ahead of them.
Much is being made of Romney's 47% comment which, contrary to some GOP pundits, may cripple his campaign. The latest polls show that a whopping 36% of voters are LESS likely to vote for him now. With independents, the votes Romney needs to win, 29% saw they are less likely to vote for him, which are numbers that have to thrill Obama's campaign. For a man hemorrhaging votes, this is a catastrophic loss and this story is still the top news draw on every newscast nationwide. Here is a man desperate for any big story that could knock this one off and, so far, there is nothing in sight. Candidates like Brown and McMahon have distanced themselves from Romney's comments as both are in tight races that could go either way. Tomorrow's column will be about tonight's epic debate between Warren and Brown and the first senate debate I have ever watched so stay tuned for more on that.
The Presidential debates will either be a tremendous Romney rebirth or the first sign of a staggering defeat. The electoral college numbers do not have any real way for Romney to win so his debate skills better be better than God's to turn the tides. I am not betting money on that and neither should you as even Vegas has their money on Obama.
A new transcript from a Ryan speech has made the rounds from a 2005 that should give anyone pause to make him a heartbeat away from the presidency. It was for the Atlas Society's "Celebration of Ayn Rand," where Ryan talks about how he wants to get rid of things like Medicare and Social Security. Here's some highlights:
So if you vote for Romney/Ryan, know you are voting to end all parts of the New Deal including popular programs like Medicare and SS. If you are old, too bad. Die. If you get sick and can't pay. Die. If your poor and can't eat. Die. This is their philosophy as spoken from their own mouths. This country will devolve to civil war and, most likely, a permanent martial law as we become a Stalinist dictatorship, aided and abetted by the Tea Party and people like Paul Ryan. Vote democrat as if your life depends on it, because it does. They may not be the best, but they are the only hope we have left.
